Abstract

The autonomous robotics community is starting to tackle more and more complex manipulation activities, such as doing household chores, in more and more realistic operating environments such as human working and living environments. One of the biggest challenges in such applications is the open-endedness of the task domains and the enormous amount of knowledge needed to achieve reliable task success. Luckily almost every robot has access to the World Wide Web, the world's largest knowledge and information source. While up to now robots have only made limited use of the web as an information and knowledge source the opportunities are obvious and manifold. Robots can use search engines such as Google images, video, or 3D warehouse. They can also ask for the help from humans using tools such as the Amazon Mechanical Turk. Or, robots could perhaps form communities to build up huge common knowledge bases, much in the same spirit as people work on Wikipedia. Or, robots could reproduce the situations they cannot handle in web games and observe how the players deal with the situations and what the consequences might be. This workshop aims at bringing robotics researchers together that investigate the ways that robots can make good use of the Internet infrastructure. The workshop will provide a state-of-the-art overview of the field and will offer ample room for discussion to jointly identify new challenges and opportunities for future research.
